Distance will be approximately 210 Kilometers (about 130 miles with about 9,000 ft of total climbing)
Distance will be approximately 100k Kilometers (about 62 miles with about 4,500 ft of total climbing)
Pre-Registration is strongly recommended for all events! If you do not pre-register your start may delayed or you may not be able to get credit for the brevet.
The route is a somewhat challenging route in places due to the terrain, but not such that most reasonably fit randonneurs would not be able to finish on time. Some of you may need a triple or low gear compact. You may need to watch your stop times and site seeing times, so consider planning to keep a steady effort on the easier sections. There are quite a few long down hills too.

Brevets are generally not races and there is no prize money, so please be polite to all volunteers, fellow riders and convenience store attendants. Helping a fellow rider to finish is allowed and should make you feel better.
The spirit of randonneuring emphasizes self sufficiency. Personal sag vehicles are not allowed on the course and can only be used in certain situations defined in RUSA's Rules For Riders. You should also follow all local traffic laws, rules & regulations while participating in any brevet.
Please ensure that you dress appropriately for the weather conditions and have sufficient supplies and extra funds if needed for anything that may arise while en route on brevets!
Riders should pre-register online to allow them to start on time. You may also be able to register at the event prior to the start. It is strongly suggested that you pre-register. If you do not pre-register, your start may delayed or you may not be able to start with the other riders. Day of event registration may close at before the official event start time for Brevets.
